DON'T you just love the names that pizza places give to their dishes?

Pizza Planet, which is in itself a fine name for a takeaway, offers the Italian Stallion, the Planet Deluxe and the one we opted for The Universe!

Pizzas come in three sizes so we went for the 12-inch version at £6.

After a fair wait - although we had been warned in advance - a monster of a pizza arrived.

The Universe appears to have a bit of everything that is in the kitchen liberally spread over a substantial base.

Among the various toppings I found tandoori chicken, salami, turkey, ham, various peppers plus much more.

Such a variety done badly could be totally overpowering but on this occasion, combined with a non too stodgy base, it was a feast for the two of us.

I wouldn't quite say the Universe was out of this world but it was close.
